Thanks to everyone so far and special Thanks to that Bruddah Michael for coming out and putting in some good work..

Wow! Michael.... Greeat Slideshow... super boss!

See you at 11 today!

Hey Jack,
It was great to meet the Harbor folks this morning, Frank, Robert/Commodore, Bonny. What nice people!!
Wanted to add these new info about the tournament:

There will be a designated area that we can park, camp, that on the East side of the property and it will be marked.
There will be extra signs on Stenmark Drive to guide you to Pt. San Pablo Yacht Harbor after you get off the Pt. Molate exit. The turnoff road to the harbor is a couple of miles of “bumpy” road, paved, but bumpy. Yeah, Ok for cars. The place is kind of out there and secluded. Keep your eye on the signs!!
There will be a water hose with sprayer that will be going right to the launch beach, with maybe a couple wood shipping pallets to wash of our yaks and wetsuit as soon as we come out of the water.
I just found this morning that the gas stove in the Clubhouse will be fixed in time for the tournament.
Best news: one of harbor residents is this really old timer Charter Captain Frank who has a charter boat called the Fury there. He is taking his boat on Friday to pick up some live anchovies from SF for us.  He has a whole live bait rig next to his boat at the harbor. What a great guy!!
Live bait will generous and not expensive!!
Guess now you need to bring a live bait holder.
We will also have a live Rock Band on the Saturday Night Potluck/Awards!!!
These are guys live at the harbor and from what I hear they are really good!!
Maybe some guys may just come for the party!!
The Tournament is providing:

70# Caja China roasted pig
Vietnamese Chow Mein from Vietnamese Restaurant Cam Huong in Oakland
Jasmine Rice
Mixed green salad with Balsamic/Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing
Watermelon
Plates and Utensils, etc.
NCKA’ers bring whateva you are inspired to compliment this spread on Saturday Night.

We are having a Safety Meeting 8pm at the Clubhouse on Friday.
Frank the Charter Captain of the Fury, will be talking about fishing in the bay, currents, tides, etc. He's an incredible body of knowledge about fishing in the Bay. Lucky!!! For first timers and da rest of us!!
There will be a safety protocol for getting rescued and communication with the harbor during the tournament.
(On Saturday, Jack will have the Harbor Whaler gassed up and ready to go to help anyone who might get caught in tides, etc.)
It looking like a great time for fishing and relaxing is coming up soon!!

Mahalo,

Anyone plan or want to fish Thursday or Friday with me?

You will likely see me out there Thursday and Friday before Saturday's tournament day.  I have a few spots in the area I'm going to scout out.
